Missing you -- A Poem

Updated on November 26, 2014

Enjoy our inspiration with this song... thanks!

Coming to see you down Highway I-95



Surprise surprise, came home from Afghanistan

Captain Robinson let us go home from Fort Bragg

My baby is down south... thinking I'm still far away on war zone

My emotions take over... while I listen to "John Waite" for so long!


.


North Carolina, I'm saying Goodbye now

There is so much to think about...

I want to get home sooner than freaking later

I want to grab and hold my sweet lady...


Is already 6:45 p.m. and the sun is already going down...

I feel that by night I will be embracing my only love

Is almost her birthday and I cannot miss one more holiday, I know!

Feeling like her knight in shining armor driving back home..!

Suddenly...

Yes, a trailer in front of me, drops a heavy structural beam

a piece of heavy proportions that wasn't suppose to stop my dream

Engulfed by the impact on my windshield I go back...

I see myself driving my Humvee in dusty Iraq


.


Roadside bombs and ambushed comrades dropping next to me

This must be a dream, or a nightmare that could not be...

Finally, I see myself inside my wrecked car... barely mumbling...

A firefighter search my wallet to find my baby's cell phone number!!

"I need to see her -- I need to feel her lips,"

I say, while paramedics take care of me

Up above I see the stars and... and I see her face

I sense the warm blood that sealed our love and faith!


.

Survivor from foreign wars and terrifying PTSD's

I wanted to come home and surprise my "sweet thing"

I know love is stronger than distance, time and those fearful nights

Flabbergasted that I'm alive and... able to breathe this life

.

At The E.R.... "defibrillator paddles!"

.

This doctor decided to save my life

"angel doctor" took over staff in the middle of the night

applied CPR and asked for prayer holding my hands

"he is not ready Michael," said a voice, "I know he can... I know he can..."

All of a sudden, I felt these warm soft hands holding mine so tight

It was my wife that drove back in the middle of this crazy night

bringing my beautiful daughter who I didn't see from long ago

We kissed and cried, we sobbed like kids full of love!

Was this inspiration..?

See results

Why You didn't tell me?

.

She was mad and wanted to slap on my face

Oh my! Who understands women anyway!

She still kissed me like that first time

she was catching up with my state of mind


In that moment we saw a shooting star through the window blinds

"must've been another angel that won his wings back"

In the middle of that hectic hospital, we celebrated this especial day

"No matter what, life is what counts after all," I said to her


John Waite, you were right! I was really missing her... to death!


Guess what our daughter wanted to be..?
